Air Piping system

Air Piping system

Air Piping system

(OP)
I am designing an air piping system for glass manufacturer and aluminum. I don't have more idea about piping. All machine has operating pressure of 7 bars. I selected galvanized pipe schedule 40 for piping and a Two-Stage reciprocating pump for compressor. Can anyone give me some advice? In this 120 l is "l" stands for liter for cfm? Is per working cycle taken as per minutes? And how can I compute the thread per inch for the fittings. Thanks and more power!

 

RE: Air Piping system

Generally the compressor manufacturer was installation guides that would answer most of your initial questions and help refine your questions as you get into the detailis.

RE: Air Piping system

the threads per inch are defined in ANSI B1.20.1.  

It sounds like you have a 120 cubic feet per minute.  A 120 liter per minute compressor is a hand bicycle pump.
